    1 or 2 points for Tubbs. Can't remember off the top of my head.

    Close fight. Have it on the computer, Tubbs is just a durable opponent. I think Bowe did enough to pull it out but Tubbs made him look less than spectacular. Every up and coming fighter runs in to that kind of opponent.

    I had is 6-4 for Bowe. Close fight. Bowe never had good defense, and the cagey Tubbs made him look bad. Blame Bowe's crazy manager Rock Newman for making this fight.

    An exceedingly good performance from a fat post prime Tubbs,against a prime Bowe.

    The question of style comes up yet again. Prime for prime,and properly trained and focused,Bowe would always beat Holyfield. Holyfield would beat a prime Tubbs,whereas imo,it's evident that a prime Tubbs would always have beaten Bowe.

    Thats reasonable, I gave it to Tubbs but then I wanted too....and that's a dangerous bias to bring to scoring a close fight.

    Thats is so correct - But because Bowe stylewise would always give Evander hell many posters believe he would beat many differing styles, even those he blatantly ran away from....
